Marcus Scriven has a new website, Black Sheep Aristocrats. We eagerly await more of Marcus's delightful insights on the life of Alexander, Duke of Manchester and his wife, Laura, Duchess of Manchester, which are, doubtless, in the offing.

On a more pathetic note, Laura, again, attempts to slander but fails because she has no credibility and cannot spell, punctuate or think effectively.

In as far as they developed talents, it was to misapply them; in
as far as they were aware of their own deficiencies, it was to ignore
them…Theirs was, in consequence, a journey of dynastic destruction,
completed in single or successive generations. There would be no return,
no temporal redemption.

A bleak day in January 1999…an unexpected guest at dinner…an hour of equally unexpected reminiscence about John Bristol [the 7th Marquess of Bristol].
So a seed was sown. It would, in due course, lead to an attempt to
resurrect the lives of a number of twentieth century aristocrats who
took the down-escalator of life - an attempt made not via the opinions
of those who had heard things said about them, but via those who knew
them, lived with them, loved them (and frequently despaired of them
too).
Splendour & Squalor scrutinises four such lives (two from the
same family): these were men who kept monkeys in West End hotels, and
rent-boys in Deauville and Kensington; who used firearms with convincing
disregard for their own and others’ safety, who drove Rollses and
Bentleys with apparently suicidal intent, acquired yachts and
helicopters whilst shipping the family silver to California and
disposing of Old Masters at auction; who married frequently and
unsatisfactorily, and sought consolation in narcotics and alcohol,
whilst experimenting with burglary, shop-lifting, vagrancy and fraud.

It has been a busy several weeks. We received information from reliable sources, some of these located in Las Vegas, who affirmed to us the Duke and Duchess of Manchester were evicted from the apartment in Sky Las Vegas, a high end high rise there, where they had been squatting for some time.

The hearing took place on September 11th, the actual eviction on the 18th.

In parallel, Duchess Laura was texting Wendy, the Duke's former wife and the mother of his two children, that the dauntless duo was planning a posh wedding to reaffirm their vows, the ceremony to be attended by 300 close friends.

From this we conclude nothing much has changed in their alternate reality.

The couple was seen driving into their storage facility at this time with a Home Depot Moving Van, which Wendy confirmed was the method preferred by Alex when forced to again shift his possessions.

Follow both the Manchesters

Alex kicked Laura, his duchess out and she told me she was heading to Michigan to change her life and take up her real identity. I told her I would stop exposing her. Then, she attacked me again. Bad move, Laura.

More on Manchesters

As you read through the sites below you will see references to sites where Laura spends her time posting historical information on the honorable history of the Manchesters. The family lost their wealth several generations ago and today the Duke lives on a tiny stipend which barely supports a lower middle class life style.

This is pathetic, not because they lost their wealth, that happens to people who are honorable every day.

However, to focus on the past instead of attempting to restore the family's honor is sad beyond belief.

For Alex, projecting a semblance of past wealth and stature is necessary for continuing his career as a con-artist. Alex has lived on converting the reputation of his ancestors to money, goods, and services extracted under false pretenses most of his life.

For Laura, the motive is her wish to be someone who matters.

The only things which mean anything to Laura are wealth and status, to which she, herself, has no claim except for her marriage to Alexander.

Today Laura is in her early 50s, a sad and aging woman with nothing in her life but fantasies from someone else's past.

When you read her sites remember this and pray for her. Her relationship with Alexander, 13th Duke of Manchester has cost her everything in life that lasts - and matters.
